    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree US Treasuries 10Y 3x Daily Short product is a UCITS-eligible Exchange Traded Product designed to provide a leveraged short exposure (-3x) to US 10-year Treasury futures. It uses derivatives (futures contracts) centrally to achieve its investment objective, which introduces counterparty and collateral risks. The product employs synthetic replication through futures contracts rather than physical holding of underlying securities. The leverage is significant (3x) and reset daily, causing compounding effects that make the product's performance complex and difficult to understand for retail investors. The product is classified as an ETP rather than a plain ETF, and its risk indicator is the highest (7/7), reflecting very high risk. The product documentation explicitly warns that it is not simple and may be difficult to understand. These features align with MiFID II criteria for complex instruments, including the use of derivatives integral to the strategy, leverage beyond UCITS limits, synthetic replication, and complexity in payoff and risk profile. Therefore, despite being UCITS eligible, this product is classified as complex under MiFID II rules."
